Assuming the house is parallel to the ground, your triangle is made up by the house, the ground, and the ladder. Using sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse on the angle 70 degrees, you would have sin(70) = 20/x (because 20 is the side opposite of the angle connecting the ladder and the ground)
--> simplify sin(70) * x = 20 --> x = 20 / sin(70 
--> substitute (and make sure your calculator in in degrees) x= 21. 284

The owner of an office building is expanding the length and width of a parking lot by the same amount. The lot currently measure
nasty-shy [4]

Present area = 120 * 80 = 9600 ft^2 so the new area will be 9600 + 4400 = 14000

So if increase in length = x we have

(x + 120)(x + 80) = 14,000

x^2 + 200x + 9600 - 14000 = 0

x^2 + 200x - 4400 = 0

x = 20 feet answer
